What to expect

LANGUAGE: Croatian is the official language, however, the majority of croatians are multilingual and english is spoken by at least 80% of croatians (it varies a little from city to city). 

ELECTRICITY: In Croatia the standard voltage is 230 V and the frequency is 50 Hz. That’s the standard voltage in the UK, Europe, Australia and most of Asia and Africa; If you are traveling from the US you will need an adaptor.

Croatia is part of the European Union, and Euros are accepted in some restaurants, transportation and accommodations. You can still exchange any other currency in any bank or withdraw the money directly from the ATM. Credit cards are widely accepted as well, although europeans prefer cash and it is recommended to always carry cash in your wallet.
